  • Trust Score - Refer to the “Trust Score” field in the image above, can you guess what it encodes? It represents how trustworthy your customer is. When a customer successfully arrives at their appointment and you mark their appointment as done, this will affect their trust score positively. Trust scores are affected by: Writing a Review (+1), Having an appointment with a "No-show" status (-3), Having an appointment with a "Done" status: (+3).
